Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has won four of the last eight renewals of this race and he sends a strong team in a bid to bolster that record here. KEW GARDENS has shaped like he will appreciate a more stamina sapping trip in recent times and he's taken to gain his first win of the season in a competitive renewal. Stablemate Nelson is an interesting prospect and can be forgiven his run in the Derby trial last time. John Gosden won this last year and Stream Of Stars isn't one to underestimate given his profile.
  1. Kew Gardens
  2. Nelson
  3. Stream Of Stars
